Can anyone recommend a good cleaner for my cd players, I've noticed one side won't play the last track of most cds so I'm guessing they probably need a clean. I use a pair of Denon 1800F.

Thanks

No CD Cleaner is as good as physically cleaning the lens manually smile.gif . Even the best CD cleaners can just end up swilling around the dirt to other parts of the lens!.

If you are worried about cleaning the lens manually yourself, then take it to a dealer.

There will be maintainance tips for jobs like this in the "Knowledge base" when it is ready.

Ok Chris, I'll look out for that.

ISOPROPANOL (non diluted)


you can get it from chemist but you will have to sign a book to say your not going to drink it.

and lint free cotten bud type things from the camera shop.

will make your lenses better than new!

The ordinary CD lens cleaners are pretty good for instant-but-temporary fixes...enough to help you make it through the night....(Wasnt that a song? huh.gif )

My theory is that the CD lens cleaners with the line of miniture brushes on them help create a little whirlwind inside the CD assembly, simply blowing any loose bits of fluff ( huh.gif ) off of the laser lens. Temporary, but for the sake of £5~10, its better to have one with you at a gig, than not.

Be aware, however, that some CD-decks state that you must NOT use certain CD cleaner discs. - check your manuals for details.

....then get the lens drunk with the above fluid, when you've got a few hours and a screw driver around.

Above fluid is also great at cleaning lights, it removes all the smoke and dirt form them and makes them good as new smile.gif

ISOPROPANOL, will that not remove the resin applied to those really fine wire
windings that focus the laser.....

Cheers

Meths very slightly diluted with warm water is a good way of removing baked on dirt from those difficult to reach places in lighting effects (Damn i'm starting to sound like a Sky TV advert )

Meths is also could to have around the house should you run out of Whisky and "those" relatives turn up unexpected rolleyes.gif
